Battery operation

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by pushing the catch

down and lifting the cover off.

2. Insert four LR6 (AA size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment.

Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as

shown on the battery compartment cover. Replace the battery cover.

Rechargeable batteries may be used but must be charged in an

external battery charger.

3. The low battery indicator

showing at the bottom of the playing

displays, reduced power, distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all

signs that the batteries may need replacing. When the batteries have

full charge the full battery indicator will be shown on the playing

display.

4. The alarm clock function may be used when the radio is powered from

batteries (see page 15).

5. If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is

recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.

if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account

should batteries be disposed of by incineration.

Caution: Replace batteries only with the same or equivalent type.

Danger of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced.

Navigation controls

This page describes the basic means of controlling your Play T1 radio. Detailed instructions

for each operating mode are given in the later sections of this book.

1. Pressing and releasing the On/Standby button brings your radio out of the

Standby mode if running from the mains or switches it on if using batteries.

Pressing and releasing the On/Standby button while the radio is in use will cause it

to return to the Standby mode with the clock display when running from the mains, or

will switch it off after a short delay when running on batteries.

2. Pressing the Mode button gives you access to each of the operating modes in turn:

DAB radio, FM radio and Auxiliary Input.

Alternatively, press the Mode button and then turn the Tuning/Select control clockwise

or anti-clockwise to highlight the desired menu item then press the control to select

that item.

3. Pressing the Menu button will access the menu system.

4. Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. This is done using

the Tuning/Select control. Turn the control clockwise or anti-clockwise to highlight the

desired menu item then press the control to select that item.

If there are more than six items in a menu, then the display will automatically scroll up

or down so that the additional items become visible.

If there are many items in a menu, then the radio allows the menu to 'wrap around'

in either direction. This can make it easier to reach items at the end of a long menu,

such as a list of DAB radio stations.

5. If an error is made when navigating the menus, it is generally possible to go back to

a higher level menu by pressing the Menu button.

6. The Tuning/Select control allows the display of information relating to the radio station.

Note: In this booklet press always means press and release. If it is required to give a

long press on a button this is described as apply a long press and the button should

be held down for 2 to 3 seconds until the radio has responded.

IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting

the product to the mains supply. The mains socket and any multi-way

mains block used for the product must remain accessible during

normal use. In order to disconnect the product from the mains, the

mains adaptor should be removed from the mains socket completely.

Use only the mains adaptor provided with the product, or a genuine

replacement provided by Roberts Radio. The use of alternative adaptors

will invalidate the guarantee.

Prune stations - DAB

If you move to a different part of the country, some of the stations which were listed may

no longer be available. Also, from time to time, some DAB services may stop broadcasting,

or may change location or frequency. Stations which cannot be found, or which have

not been received for a very long time are shown in the station list with a question mark.

The Prune stations function will delete the marked DAB stations from your station list.

1. When in DAB mode, press Menu.

2. Choose 'Prune invalid' and then choose 'Yes' to cause the invalid station names to

be removed from the station list.

3. If you do not wish to prune stations choose 'No' in step 2 above.

Note: If you have moved your radio to a different part of the country you should also carry

out a search for new stations (please see the section 'Finding new stations' on page 7).

Operating your radio - FM

1. Carefully extend the telescopic aerial. Press On/Standby to switch on the radio.

2. Press Mode until the 'FM' mode is selected.

information is available, after a few seconds the display will show the radio station

name. If you only hear hiss or interference, simply apply a long press on the

control to scan further.

5. To scan down in frequency, rotate the Tuning control anti-clockwise and then apply

a long press on the control. Your radio will scan the FM band in a downwards

direction (high frequency to low frequency).

local / distant option for the Auto-scan function.

1. When in FM mode, press Menu.

2. Choose 'Scan setting'.

3. To set your radio so that only the stations with the strongest signals are found during

scanning choose 'Yes'. (Normally this will restrict scanning to local transmissions).

4. Alternatively, to set your radio so that all available stations are found during scanning

(local and distant transmissions) choose 'No'.

Note: The initial setting (out of the box, or after a System Reset) causes the radio

to ignore weaker (or more distant) signals.

Stereo / Mono switching - FM (headphones only)

Your radio will play stereo FM broadcasts in stereo (via headphones only) provided

that the received signal is of adequate strength. However, as a stereo signal becomes

weaker the audio signal will become poorer. It may be preferable to force the radio to

play the station in mono in order to reduce the level of background hiss.

1. Ensure your radio is in FM mode and tune to the required FM station.

2. To change the audio setting, press Menu.

3. Choose 'Audio setting'. The current audio setting is indicated with a tick. To switch

to mono in order to reduce the hiss from a weak FM signal choose 'Mono' or choose

'Stereo' to return to the normal automatic VWHUHRRUPRQR setting.

Setting the alarm clock

Your radio has two alarms which can be set to wake you to DAB, FM radio or buzzer alarm. Each alarm can be set to sound once, daily, on weekdays

or at weekends. In the event of a power interruption your radio has a built in memory that will retain your alarm settings. Ensure that the time is set

correctly before setting the alarms.

Alarms can be set while the radio is in Standby mode or switched on. You may set the alarm duration to sound for 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes. Please

see 7RVHWWKHDODUPGXUDWLRQ page 17.
